Rand: Sequestration 'The Law of The Land'

13 Oct 2013

On Sunday, appearing on CNN’s State of the Union, Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) said that sequestration would remain part of any deal on the government shutdown and debt ceiling. “It’s funny,” Paul said. “They’re all about Obamacare being the law of the land, but so’s the sequester. If we exceed that, it’s a real big step in the wrong direction. I can’t imagine you’re going to get Senate Republicans to vote for something that exceeds the sequester caps,” he continued. “I think it’s a huge mistake for the country.”
